Figured I’d add a couple of pictures. Yeah those are peppers in front of me in the first pic, and the monster is behind me. You can see it’s encroaching on my entire garden. Would appreciate advice on how to deal with this situation.

Am I correct that you are growing Durbin poison outdoors? I am also and would like to compare notes, as this is my first outdoor grow and I think things are getting out of hand. My Durbin poison is over 9 feet tall and presumably hasn’t even hit the stretch yet. I am wondering when I can expect...

I am a first time grower in a legal state with a monstrous gigantic Durbin poison on my hands. It’s over 9 feet tall and it’s only August 2 here on Long Island New York. I have no idea how big this baby is going to get, especially when it hits the stretch. And I have no idea when I can expect...

Thanks for the scientific data. Helps put my mind at ease. But I guess the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and so far I see no ill affects. (I’ll try to put a picture of a Bud below). But I’ve got some hearty plants here, as they have had to sustain temperature fluctuations from 60° at...

All you guys that have been doing this for a long time obviously know what you are doing have the ability to micromanage your pH levels and nutrient feedings, etc. etc. But growing in soil in a greenhouse is a whole different animal. I have no illusions of attaining maximum yields, as I am...

Thank you, thcoso and growsince for your advice. Now that I know I have at least a couple of weeks left to go, I will give them an Epson salts drink today. As to the flushing question which has been discussed extensively on this thread, since I am growing in soil in a greenhouse I give the...

Ready to harvest first home grown. Hoping to hit the sweet spot. Could use some advice. I am pretty much shooting in the dark as this is my first experience growing. My 2 plants are in a greenhouse in a New York winter, and I do not know the varieties as the seeds were given to me. Seedlings...

Too much snow to torch, and besides I don’t have a flamethrower. Thought of draping a curtain to block off the side of the greenhouse that the plants are growing, but that would also block their heat, the source of which is on the other side of the greenhouse. Fire. Same problem as with flame...

Mother nature threw me a curve ball last night. It snowed. The covering of white stuff made the nighttime hours light up almost as bright as daytime on a cloudy day. And the plants growing in my greenhouse were exposed, and will continue to be exposed to these excessive light levels during...

Hey man, I love your bean sprout in a paper towel reference. That is probably what got me hooked on growing things way back in second grade. And I have learned a few things since then. Problem is, like you said, too many people are still at that level. Maybe they’ve stopped teaching kids how...

Very well said. I appreciate your thoughts and comments. It all boils down to different strokes for different folks. As a long time organic Gardner, I know and am comfortable with soil, I have a greenhouse, and I am only growing two plants. I am best off with and will probably get best results...

Those are beauties. Nice work. Enjoy.

Every point you mentioned has validity and can be true in some and maybe even most, but not all cases. For people who understand and have amassed the experience and comfort level two diagnose and then counter correct any issues with their magic chemistry sets, then more power to them, whatever...

I apologize. I didn’t mean to characterize your initial perspective as a blanket statement. Poor wording. My bad. And I totally agree with most of what you said as the inherent difficulties with soil - being crappy to start with, over-fertilizing, infected with insects, and several of the other...

I think it is unwise to make blanket statements about almost anything, especially soil. Not all soil is the same. Like anything else, it starts with the right ingredients. I have been an outdoor organic vegetable gardener for many years and from my perspective, the closer you can get to...

good advice Dye. I appreciate your perspective. My strategy for staying out of harms way vis-à-vis the government is to be a tiny fish in a big ocean. If they want to start kicking in doors for two marijuana plants, then we are very deep shit. But I do understand that the larger growers have...

Ordering one tonight. Thanks.

We use a Zero Water. Much better than the Brita we had. And I figure if it’s good enough for me to drink, it’s good enough for the little ladies in the greenhouse.

I love the Neptunes harvest fish and seaweed concentrated emulsion. It is very concentrated and goes a long way. About 16 ounces will feed half a dozen heavy feeders like tomatoes, cukes, eggplant, peppers, etc. for a whole growing season. It goes for about $35 a gallon, but I get a 5 gallon...

My wife and I built it last year after the government sent us that stimulus money and asked us to spend it to stimulate the economy, so we bought the greenhouse from a company in Idaho. It was like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, and took us about three days to complete, with our son helping on the...
